Call for a VPH FET Flagship All Hands meeting, Barcelona 22nd July 2010
This meeting follows a consultation workshop organised in Brussels by the European Commission on 10 June, and it aims to explore funding opportunities under the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Flagship initiative. The EC workshop gave many researchers the opportunity to present their proposals, many of which revolved around the idea to use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to improve human health and to better understand human physiopathology. In particular two recurring themes, actually the roots of the European Virtual Physiological Human (VPH), were the use of predictive models and the need for integration into data, information and knowledge.
